About this image

I tried hard for a shot of the Mercury Transit but, unlike that of May 2016, I was defeated by cloud and a very strong wind that would have shaken the image into oblivion anyway. I remained undaunted until sunset and came away, very cold, but in the knowledge that somewhere on the solar disk in this shot, was a tiny black dot that was Mercury. Thanks for all the images from those who had better conditions than me.
